BOISE — Communities and families were deeply shaken after learning that now-former Officer Stephen Young confessed to a gruesome case of sexual abuse.
Officials stated that he likely raped up to 20 infants or toddlers.
“He absolutely has no idea the havoc and the confusion and the trauma that he has unleashed…” said the Ada County Prosecutor.

The parents of the victims were horrified.
They said in court that they believe Officer Young would never honestly confess to how many infants and toddlers were raped.
Investigators said at least five of the likely 20 victims he molested were infants.
It is hard to imagine the pain and confusion an infant must feel to be sexually violated by a police officer, incapable of defending itself.
The sexual abuse was reported to have occurred again and again for up to 30 years.
All the while, Officer Stephen was viewed as a “good cop.”
He even attended a church, the members of which perceived him to be a “brave law enforcement officer” willing to “put his life on the line” to protect the community.
Evidently he had been molesting helpless infants the whole time, they would have stopped him.

Disturbingly, friends at his church in “leadership positions” covered up his crime for months, even while knowing about it, according to reports.
Details arose indicating that the officer purposely worked at elementary schools with young children.
From 1995-2000 he worked in at least four different Boise Bench schools.
Then he became a “school resource officer” for another school from 2000-2004, and finally at Boise High from 2004-2006.
In all, Officer Young spent at least 11 years interacting with children who were most likely taught to “trust” police officers.
He worked for the police department for over 30 years, with government-approved authority to place his hands on citizens, including children — by force — throughout the course of his police work.
Now that he’s been caught, Officer Young issued an apology, stating “I wish I had the power to heal the many hearts that I had broken.”
Of course, his words will never undo the innocent lives he destroyed and traumatized.

Young’s crimes were described as “appalling and unconscionable.”
He was sentenced to just over 20 years in prison, and the sentence included a chance for parole. If he raped at least 20 infants, that amounts to little over a year for each infant’s life he has destroyed — a mere slap on the wrist.
The injustice here is staggering. Especially when you consider that ordinary citizens have been locked up for victimless activities. One example is the case of Jeff Mizanskey, an innocent man who is facing life in prison for marijuana.
Only in an absolute fascist police state will you find cases like this. An Enforcer of the State gets basically a slap on the wrist after destroying precious lives, while a peaceful man faces life in a cage for ingesting a harmless plant.

UPDATE (5/23/15): Jeff Mizanskey Granted Small Degree of Mercy
According to a report by River Front Times, Jeff’s life sentence has been commuted by a governor.
He will be granted clemency, but he still has to apply for parole in order to have a chance to get out.
This could still take a long time, but at least the political rulers are giving him a chance now.
As River Front times reports: “Mizanskey will of course have to apply for parole and be approved for release. Malin [a researcher of cannabis use] says he should be eligible to apply immediately but wasn’t sure how soon he could get a hearing”
